Looking for a guide on converting to Maildir. Here are our relevant specs. sendmail-8.12.11-4.RHEL3.6 (we may not be able to upgrade

too many modifications) imap-2002d-14 procmail-3.22-10.el3.centos.0 To a maildir setup...
<rant> I was in a panic today at work because the backup server is
filling up
too quickly, backing up peoples email. Further it is not backing up often enough. I just lost all of today's email. I hate mbox
and imap and outlook...
</rant> All the maildir stuff I can find is postfix oriented.
Because sendmail is rapidly fading into history?
There are too many modifications to abandon it right now. Besides it is stable as a rock.
From what I can read in procmail man pages, it supports maildir and sendmail uses
procmail as
the LDA, hence sendmail "supports" it.
There are numerous IMAP servers that support maildir, and scripts to import MBOX files - that is how I would approach it. [But then I wouldn't use Maildir; I mean, really, who cares what format your messages are in - use IMAP and network
The backup server. As one file per mailbox, the backup server is backing up over 25G/hour. These files are not subject to de-duplication. With one message per file only the new messages would get added to the backup size.
What would you use besides Maildir?
access your message store. Cyrus IMAPd will index and filter all your messages for you].
